<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nap, post: 3349157, member: 73099&quot;]I am mostly against highly technical grading of ancient and medieval coins but I think it’s preposterous to suggest grade doesn’t matter, or that description of a coin’s condition isn’t important when you have a picture.&nbsp; Unless you get to see every lot in hand (and have the skills to evaluate coin condition) or have a personal representative at every auction (who knows their stuff), the majority of the coins for consideration are essentially sight unseen.&nbsp; Reliable and conservative description of condition is one of the marks of an honest auctioneer, and a part of the determinant of the price.&nbsp; Some coins really don’t photograph all that well, and photography quality is quite variable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
